I haven’t had chicken lettuce wraps for quite some time. I went on an adult Disneyland date with my wife last week and we had some lettuce wraps at Trader Sam’s and I thought “Why have I never made these at home?”. Chicken lettuce wraps are actually quite easy to make, and sooo good!

I’ve seen a few different chicken lettuce wrap recipes out there, most of them using ground chicken. But if you’ve ever had these at a restaurant, they don’t exactly have a ground chicken consistency. What I did instead, was take my chicken breast, and pulse them in the food processor. The texture came out perfect!

If you’ve never actually had chicken lettuce wraps, they have an eastern Asian vibe to them. They full of savory umami flavors with a soy/hoisin sauce blend, and have a crunchy bite to them, by adding water chestnuts.

But will my son eat these? nope!

I really need to start snapping when I serve Brayden food that I make that isn’t a tostada, or a plain burger. Or tater tots. Because he wont touch anything I make that has an “adult” taste to it. And its pretty hilarious!

I added some sriracha to my sauce to give it a note of heat and extra flavor. These are great on their own, or you can whip up a quick teriyaki style sauce to pour on top of them.

I totally forgot to make the sauce the first night, but when we had them for leftovers I was sure to make one, so I’ll include it in the recipe!

Chicken Lettuce Wraps make an awesome game day appetizer, or just serve it up for dinner on its own. They’re kind of like tacos.

Except.. they’re… not… tacos..?? Not sure where I was going with that. But look! Another picture!

I'm not going to lie, it took me a long time to get the courage to try tofu. I'm primarily a meat eater and subbing out meat with tofu never seemed to interest me. My first time trying tofu however was in a spring roll, and I loved it...
